BAKU, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Azerbaijan and Armenia on Sunday reported casualties in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh while accusing each other of violating an established ceasefire.
The blame came a month after the two sides called a truce in their lastest round of armed-conflict since September.
Azerbaijan's defense ministry and State Security Service said in a joint-statement that Armenian servicemen attacked Azerbaijani military servicemen twice in Hadrut between Nov. 26 and Dec. 8, resulting in the deaths of four servicemen, along with three injuries including one civilian.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry of Armenia said on Sunday that the Azerbaijani special forces' attack in Hadrut on Dec. 11 wounded six Armenian servicemen.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported the violation of the ceasefire a day earlier, but did not specify which side opened fire first.
Armed clashes between the two South Caucasus countries in Nagorno-Karabakh came to a halt on Nov. 10, when Russian brokered a ceasefire with the deployment of its peacekeeping contingent to the conflict zone.
